However, staying cozy inside is a little hard if you are looking for a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.renthop.com\/apartments-for-rent\/new-york-ny\">new apartment<\/a>. While the last thing many people want to do in the winter is pack up all of your things and leave, there may be some reasons why it could be worth your while. There are numerous things to w<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">atch out for when renting during the winter, including advantages of disadvantages.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-7606 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.renthop.com\/content-manager\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/farmThings-to-look-and-look-out-for-when-renting-in-the-winter-1024x512.png\" alt=\"winterrenting\" width=\"1024\" height=\"512\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.renthop.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/farmThings-to-look-and-look-out-for-when-renting-in-the-winter.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.renthop.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/farmThings-to-look-and-look-out-for-when-renting-in-the-winter-300x150.png 300w, https:\/\/www.renthop.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/farmThings-to-look-and-look-out-for-when-renting-in-the-winter-768x384.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>1. The Weather Affects the Physical Move<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">People hardly want to go outside during the winter, let alone <a href=\"https:\/\/www.renthop.com\/blog\/tips-for-moving-into-a-new-apartment-in-the-winter\/\">move all of their belongings<\/a> to a new apartment. The big reason for this is the frigid temperature and the snowy weather.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Not only is it cold outside, but the ice and snow can make it very slippery. The probability of falling or dropping something due to slipping is infinitely higher in the winter than it is in the summer. So transporting a lot of large and heavy items in the winter months can take a lot more love and care to ensure nothing breaks. However, if you&#8217;re located somewhere where winter doesn&#8217;t necessarily mean freezing cold weather, you probably won&#8217;t have this problem.<\/span><\/p>\n<div style=\"width: 100%; height: auto; background-color: #e7edf7; border-radius: 4px; margin: 40px auto 40px auto; text-align: left; padding: 24px 20px 4px 20px;\">\n<p>Learn more:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.renthop.com\/blog\/storing-winter-clothes-tips\/\">How to Store Your Winter Clothes: Tips &amp; Tricks<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.renthop.com\/blog\/how-to-keep-your-apartment-heating-costs-down-during-the-winter\/\">How to Keep Your Apartment Heating Costs Down During the Winter<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.renthop.com\/blog\/what-are-two-up-two-down-apartments\/\">What Are Two-Up Two-Down Apartments?<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<h2>2. Less Competition for Apartments<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, because of this large-scale disinterest when it comes to people moving in the winter, it means there is a good chance there will be less competition from other potential rentals in the winter. This means you have a better shot at getting the apartment of your dreams.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, this comes with a bit of a caveat. Because not many people really like to move in the winter, that means there is a high chance there will be less rental properties available in the winter. Low demand always equals less inventory, so there is a chance the selection might not be outstanding in the winter as most people in great places aren\u2019t jumping at the opportunity to leave in the dead of winter.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>3. Cheaper Rent in the Winter<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Because of the various factors mentioned so far in this article, landlords can often have trouble filling vacant apartments during the colder winter months. If there aren\u2019t that many people looking to rent in the winter, that means there are bound to be some apartments or rentals that don\u2019t get filled. In order to combat this and to make sure their rentals get tenants, many landlords will <a href=\"https:\/\/www.renthop.com\/blog\/is-now-a-good-time-to-rent\/\">lower the price<\/a> of their rental to try and entice potential tenants. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This can come in many forms. Some companies will just full on lower the monthly price, whereas others will add a free month or two to sweeten the deal. We have even seen some landlords and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.renthop.com\/blog\/how-to-negotiate-rent-concessions\/\">companies offer tenants<\/a> a \u201cdon\u2019t pay for X months\u201d sort of deal. So if you are in the market for a new apartment right now, you just hit the jackpot, as there is a good chance you will find a pretty special deal. Even if you like a place and they haven\u2019t advertised a deal, there is a chance they might be willing to wiggle if you haggle on the price a little bit.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>4. Is the Apartment Winter Ready?<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So while the winter time can be a great time to rent due to the decrease in competition and the often-lower prices, it isn\u2019t all good news all the time. Unfortunately, not every apartment or building is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.renthop.com\/blog\/prepping-your-apartment-for-the-winter\/\">ready for the cold conditions<\/a>, and this can leave you in a bit of a pinch. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You want to make sure to test the heating in every apartment that you view, and also want to make sure that there is no draft coming in through the windows or anything like that. What good is having an apartment in the winter if it doesn\u2019t stay warm? They should also be well insulated and such as well.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Conclusion<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In conclusion, while renting a new place in the winter might not seem like the best idea, the more you investigate it, the better it begins to look. It is often cheaper and you will have far less competition than if you tried to rent a place in the spring or summer months. While sure, there are some things to watch out for, but as long as those bases are covered, winter can be a solid time to get a good deal on your next rental, without having to worry about a lot of competition. So remember, you hold the bargaining chips during rent negotiations in the winter, it could potentially help save you a lot of money over the coming months.
